Red Bull Theater takes a shot at Molière's 1673 comedy. While there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, as a whole, the production doesn’t necessarily deliver a remedy for the dark times we’re living in, but it’s a pleasant enough painkiller. And at 85 minutes, there’s no fear of suffering from Argan’s diagnosis of glutial amnesia (aka dead butt). Full review here

I saw this last week. I don’t know this play so I cannot speak to the “cuts.” Show was a lot of fun and I felt I got A whole story in the short runtime. Also was surprised at the incorporation of music and singing into the production. I highly recommend the show.
